Of Colors & Grading in CRS

[Navanod]

How about this fellow?

[Navanod]

The point system too chin for me already I prefer the hino a1 grading system

Yes, I also agree. Point system probably requires a checklist but its an interesting idea to explore.

Even if we do a simple 5 tier grading system like the A1, people will still probably need to refer to the picture and remember to check all the different body parts...
what constitutes an A or a 1? B & 2?
There's still no simple way

Wasn't there a grade system with SSS etc for these shrimp?

I find this piece very unique ..thanks for sharing..

Indeed, that is the pattern based grading system, which is rapidly becoming ineffectual as the community moves towards color grading (so called "pure lines" with much more solid colors) as well.
So what we have now, are top grade SSS pattern mosura crowns/flowerheads with abysmal colors, such as this specimen


With new threads bashing "pure" shrimps with golden snow white genes appearing every so often, going on a witch hunt that'll never turn up any conclusions, I hope that a fair, transparent and reliable color grading system can bring some order to the chaos.

this photo somehow look like wine red to me

This is super crystal red breed out by German hobbyists.

Perhaps, we should not define white & red/black when assessing non-CRS/BDS?
Rather, use "primary" & "secondary" colors?

It is not easy to rate shrimp of different strain into the same scoring criteria, for example if one if to use CRS system on KK, then a KK will fare better then CRS, its color is alway better then a CRS, for example: its legs are colored.

BTW, just heard from researcher, CRS are not Caridina cantonensis and the species of CRS is yet to be described. Caridina cantonensis is a type of transparent shrimps.

But I thought they were once transparent ish then after many selective breeding then their colour solid?

How about this fellow?

Is this the Super Red Crystal Shrimp that the germans are doing selective breeding to bring out the reds rather than the whites?

Yapz. If you try to goggle for super crystal red, there are some very beautiful red specimens already produce.

True, perhaps its best to refocus on CRS and BDS, at the same time, changing the species name in the title to reflect that.

Is it possible for the mod to assist in changing the thread title?

No, ancestor of CRS is bee shrimps, thats why in Japan CRS is also known as bee shrimps or red bee shrimps. They look identical to today CBS. Look like this:


And this form exits in the wild. Nowsday, almost impossible to buy them in shops anywhere in the world.

Ya, work on this and then expand to the rest.

CRS has come a long way from
